Changes are recommended to boiler flow temperature
Everybody is looking for ways to save energy and money especially as fuel prices rise, autumn and winter months beckon and the temperature starts to drop. One simple change highlighted by money saving charities Nesta and Which? shows that households could knock a whopping £112 a year.
Nesta says people with combi gas boilers should have it set to a “flow temperature” of 60C or below, to use the gas in the most efficient way possible. However, many boilers run hotter than that - which uses more gas as heat is lost from the pipes in your home.While the majority of people have lowered their thermostat, ONS data shows only 1 in 10 lowered their boiler flow temperature in the last year.
Nesta, which was a public body until 2012, claimed if 10million households with combi boilers reset their flow temperature to 60C, it would cut £1bn from energy bills and save 1.7million tonnes of carbon. It would also save the Treasury around £500million - because gas bills, which are being subsidised by the government until 2024, would be lower.
